For anyone who hasn't noticed, Apple and Google have removed International Women's Day, which is every year on March 8, from your calendar.

EDIT: I see Apple says it was never included (I'm sure I saw it there last year as I was scheduling meetings, but okay). Which begs the question why the hell not. Because St. Patrick's day, which is not a holiday here, is on my Apple calendar. Priorities?

Anyway. Back to the original post:

Remember there is no act of resistance that's too small. Sign a petition. Contact your representatives. Donate a few bucks to a community kitchen or food bank. Volunteer. It all counts.

Enshittification continues apace.

The fossil fuel industry & its financiers determine foreign & domestic policy, not voters.

... going if oil prices drop.

An accelerated transition to solar, wind, etc will end the war on Ukraine faster than any "peace negotiation" between three of the most untrustworthy & faithless conmen in leadership today.

Drop oil prices to the floor and defund these fascists:

I always scoff when people try to claim calling for justice for Palestine is "antisemitic" when in reality Jewish leaders firm in their faith & Jewish identities proudly and courageously stand up for justice for Palestine BECAUSE THEY KNOW ITS THE RIGHT & MORAL THING TO DO

Not just MI5, and not just the CIA. But yeah. So-called law enforcement loves to stir up violence to discredit protesters and reformers and justify all their toys.

Looks fake doesn't it? This reconstruction of Medieval Bologna shows how Italian towns used to be a forest of towers, dense as Manhattan skyscrapers!

Here's a stable blog-formatted version of my thread from yesterday about the lost towers of the Guelph-Ghibelline wars https://www.exurbe.com/the-lost-towers-of-the-guelph-ghibelline-wars/

The hardest thing for me to believe is that voters keep electing "the other guy" to see what happens, and every single time, the same thing happens.

It's Lucy and the football as an existential hell.

A #Tasmanian Native Hen, strolling past the kitchen window, oblivious to what’s going on in the US right now. #WildOz #birds #LandForWildlife 🪶

it should be obvious Elon Musk is a raging sociopath. what is not clear to a lot of people is that INTERNET TROLLING is a huge predictor of not just someone showing strong markers of sociopathy, narcissism and machiavellism; but of SADISM.

sadism, a shared trait among sociopaths, narcissists and machiavellians is why now they’re the DarkTetrad Of Personality Disorders.

Internet Trolls Are Narcissists, Psychopaths, and Sadists | Psychology Today - https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/your-online-secrets/201409/internet-trolls-are-narcissists-psychopaths-and-sadists

BTW am still fascinated twas a Canadian team, observing patterns of behaviour on American social networks.

❝ Of all personality measures, sadism showed the most robust
associations with trolling and, importantly, the relationship was specific to trolling behavior. Enjoyment of other online activities, such as chatting and debating, was unrelated to sadism. Thus cyber-trolling appears to be an Internet manifestation of everyday sadism

Annual MLK Day reminder that the Black civil rights movement of the 1960s was not as strictly nonviolent as your history teacher (and US empire) would have you believe. For just one good reading on the subject check out “This Nonviolent Stuff'll Get You Killed: How Guns Made the Civil Rights Movement Possible” by Charles Cobb.

I remember agitating to free Leonard Peltier in college. I'm glad he finally has clemency, but I wish they'd done it long before he became deathly ill, by a lame-duck President at the end of his tenure.

But at least he finally is free.
